| This is where I draw my questions from, you may want to take a look if you're not sure what I'm asking about. Here it goes: Quote:
a2. Holy Baghdad - holy crap, holy s&!+... type of exclamation? why holy Baghdad? is it possible that good people of Iraq may find the expression offensive? a3. schoolboy - is the writer referring to people in certain generation? or does he literally mean 'school boy'? I'm asking because I didn't know about the 60's batmobile being a 1955 Lincoln Futura. Quote:

| Desert storm = the first Gulf war Dark Knight = name for Batman (I think) Holy Baghdad- In the TV series, Batman and Rob9in used strange expressions of surprise like this. They used Holy+ comething from the context of the show. I think it's more crass than offensive here. Any schoolboy = everybody. However, the writer's forgetting their age. Pull the wool over someone's eyes = fool them. Eye slits because of Batman's costume. Same Bat time, same Bat channel |
